The article in the reddit post you shared is misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he got roughly $792,000 in performance-based bonuses. The rest of that 193 million is options.

Yeah, I saw that article too but it’s misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he received about $792,000 in performance-based cash bonus. The rest of that 193 million is options. It’s not the reason reddit isn’t profitable.

lol reddit’s automated AEO is already notoriously dogshit, trying to replace human moderation with AI would be a fucking disaster. So I say do it spez. I double dare you!

One fine day with a woof and a purr
A baby was born and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog
Just a feline canine little CatDog

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Out on the road or back in town
All kinda critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together gotta sing this song

CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!

Traitors, the lot of ‘em.

Don’t be ridiculous. A tortilla only has the potential to become a burrito. It doesn’t even have any fillings.

The subject being satirized in this article is hip hop/rap “criticism” that’s just thinly veiled racism/racist dog whistling. Not Ozzy Osbourne. They’re using a real news item about him in order to satirize racism because his reason for denying use of his song subverts the trope of the “old guy who hates rap for racist reasons.” Ozzy is not the butt of the joke here, but please, don’t let that get in the way of your righteous indignation and pearl clutching on behalf of Ozzy.

I don’t think either of you understand the point of the article. The subject being satirized in this article are people who use hip hop/rap criticism as a racist dog whistle. Not Ozzy Osbourne. They’re using an accurate headline based on a real news item about him in order to satirize racism because his reason for denying use of his song subverts the trope of the “old guy who hates rap for racist reasons.” So no, it doesn’t belong in c/nottheonion. It’s 100% satire and was posted exactly where it belongs.

Tornetta also turned up in videos drumming at the legendary former New York club CBGB with his now-defunct metal band “Dawn of Correction”, which described its sound as “a swift kick to the face with a steel-toed work boot.”

“I was in a band for seven years. It was a death metal band. People either loved us or they hated us. Or they thought we were okay. A lot of bands have intense names, like “Rigor Mortis” or “Mortuary”. We weren’t that intense—we called ourselves “Injured”. Later on we changed it to “Acapella” when we were walking out of the pawn shop.” - Mitch Hedberg

I’m not aware of any last minute deal but their contract expires at midnight so the strike wouldn’t technically begin until tomorrow, February 1st. If I recall correctly, picketing will take place in NYC, LA, and Chicago.

Okay tweets rarely make me actually laugh out loud but that was hilarious. Spot on.

Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.

Spot on, this applies to so many other paranormal events too. Some people refuse to believe that their favorite “mysteries” were never really all that mysterious to begin with. Nor are they willing to accept explanations they view as being too mundane. At a certain point they’ve sunk so much time and become too emotionally invested in the legend to accept anything but the most wild and grand explanations.

Dyatlov Pass is a great example of this. The avalanche theory was always the most likely explanation but without question the least exotic. But it also applies to things like the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, the 1934 Loch Ness monster photo, the Amityville/DeFeo murders, and conspiracy theories surrounding damn near every modern political assassination since Lincoln.

lol right? That cracked me up! This is one of my favorite communities on Lemmy so I read a lot of satire and this article is among the best in recent memory.

The creator had previously said he intended the show to wrap after three seasons. So while the “ending” we’re left with now is suitable it wasn’t the one they planned.

I’m just glad they clearly wrote the second season finale anticipating the possibility that the show wouldn’t be renewed.
